Theatrical Release Information:
T'ai Chi for Health: Yang Short Form

One of the principles of tai chi is the planting of the lower body to the floor, allowing the upper body to flow smoothly. The Yang Short Form is a complex series of 37 movements which promote balance, relaxation, circulation, and the energizing of the chi, or life force. Tai Chi for Health Yang Short Form is one of the most complete, easy-to-follow guides to this ancient practice. Instructor Terence Dunn breaks down the workout into a brief introduction of the philosophy and health benefits of tai chi: a ten-minute warm-up, a 20-minute demonstration of the basic postures, an hour of step-by-step instruction of all of the postures, and finally, the video -- with a 15-minute Yang Short Form exhibition. This is a great choice for beginners. ~ Heather M. Fierst, All Movie Guide
